"Where's The Glue?"

First, you need some background.....

Sean has a remote controlled airplane. He thought Russell needed one. I said no. I know my husband. I know that he can't leave well enough alone and will find a zillion parts he thinks he needs to upgrade...in other words...money he thinks he 'has' to spend on making this airplane 'better.'

I said he could get an airplane when I got my lap dog...figuring this would never happen. But then this happened....

He might not be my lap dog...but he is my second dog. So...literally like 2 weeks later...Sean buys Russell an airplane. I told Sean he had to buy all the 'upgrade' parts in my future. Hindsight is 20/20...I should have also said he had to buy all the glue and duct tape too....(I was just corrected..it's not duct tape...it's electrical tape...same diff.)

So..Terry and Russell have been out flying...if you can call it that...their planes. You see, I think the record so far is like 2 minutes in air...and 40 minutes crashing. They even have their own fan club. As soon as the planes come out like 10 little kids come running and sit on the grass to watch the planes 'fly.' Which I don't really get because I would think they got bored after watching them crash. :-)

Here's what the plane is supposed to look like...

After having the plane for a whopping 2 days....it's been glued and taped back together 100 times...and that's only after 'flying' it for like 30 minutes.

Here's what Russell's looks like after tonight's adventure in flying...(here's a hint...it's supposed to be in ONE piece!)

And here's Terry's...but the miracle is he "Didn't even get to fly it"...I'll fill you in...

I told them they crashed because their planes were so off weight from all the glue and duct..err..electrical tape they have had to use. I got the finger.

Here's my favorite quotes from tonight:

"Piece of shit made in China." ---Terry...like it's the fault of China he crashed.

"I didn't even get to fly it" ---Terry...seriously I think we heard this AT LEAST 20 times.

"Where's the glue? Where's the glue? I can't find the glue." --Russell

"Where's the tape?" ---Russell

"Hand lauch it...it will fly better" ---Russell...as it crashes

"Wow..it flew a lot better." ---- ME ;-)

"I flew mine." ---Russell....flew..meaning past tense because as he was 'flying' his..he crashed and broke it into no less then 3 pieces.

It's just been an overly funny experience. I can't wait to tell my grandpa...who is a airplane-building-airplane-flying pro. He will laugh...hard.

Somehow I see replacement parts in my future....or at this point...a replacement airplane....THANKS SEAN!!!
